Consultation Portal

Consultation Portal

CiviQ’s Online Consultation Portal makes submissions and representations to public consultations open and accessible. It enables participants to share knowledge and interact while the consultation is open, building valuable public data on social issues.

Social Perspectives

Public opinion analysis

CiviQ provides both software and consulting to identify and visualise underlying perspectives in the natural flow of opinion on an issue with stakeholders. The process supports deeper understanding of an issue for effective consultations.

Deliberation

Understanding of opinion change

CiviQ can help you structure deliberations on its main dimensions: values, beliefs and preferences. Visualise convergence/divergence and transformation in opinion structure as a result of dialogue and deliberation.
